DRK is good enough already...

Well u want a THF on AV and it subing DNC for steps and to cap WAR haste is another viable alternative if WAR does have 78.7

Where did u get 78.7% haste tho?

Magic and gear are capped in the math that put WAR attacking 16% slower than DRK
25% + 43.75% + 9.96%= 78.71

i do agree that a pt with just war and a thf/dnc was there that wouldnt bee bad for an alt DD party because its hard to get just DRKs

my grup runs with like 4 drks a few sam and like 5 WAR so that might be something worth looking into for when we zerg PW later going to be fun getting numbers on him and naturally ill hand all my numbers out for free to be talked down on by this community <3

I find it a bit strange that Dark Knights see the job as inferior when it has two weapons that can do very high damage and a third (Great Axe) that doesn't lag far behind. Yes, Razed Ruins has little use for most DRK Weapon Skills, but that's Abyssea. Before I leveled the job myself recently, I've always been amazed by the Dark Knights (the ones who knew how to play the job, not the ones who didn't know they had MP) I've partied with.

In my mind, I see Dark Knight as a job that is no less effective than Warrior or any other melee job. The parser stuff serves only to obscure this.

If you refering from the start of the posts Hayward alot of the posts were made before the last resort buff i believe since the last resort buff DRK is easly one of the strongest DDs outside abyssea and we're about to get another boost so there is noway that DRK lacks outside of abyssea when it comes down to DMG.

Inside Abyssea we are lack in the DMG department but honestly this has/will prolly lead to DRK becoming overpowered outside of abyssea. Either way i'm still DRK most of the time when we do abyssea for my LS because i'm one of the main tanks which easily makes up for my lack of DMG.

Fyi Gaxe isn't the way to go on DRK lmao really any DRK using a Axe/Gaxe should be on WAR honestly.

who would bring a dnc not another WAR?

I think that just about sums it up lol.

I stand corrected about Taint being a pee wee herman... bad taint bad.

outside abyssea 90 apoc / caladbolg with the LR buff rapes faces. God I love it so much it reinvigorated the game for me.

It helped. I can prove you wrong with my other jobs vs dark with anything you have coming or going but as i said.. proof is in the fact I come show someone it seems. I do agree though caladbolg helped dark get up their damage outside abyssea. I am still waiting to see what SE throws at us in term of alliance fights for 18 people again or if this "easy mode" is the norm. I am waiting to see also how they go about increasing damage potential of the relics and I hope one of those is the ODD increase everyone believes they need to compete with emps now. I guess we all will have to wait and see how this goes.

you're talking to a guy with 2 relics and 5 empy (all the good ones) I can keep up again unless they have a ghorn bard with +2 hands.

I hope you don't take too much offense to this but seriously do you know how many times i have heard that and they didn't realize how far back they were. I mentioned before that I knew an apocalypse dark finished @75 telling me the same thing. I had stage 4 apocalypse at the time. We had the same buffs with 2 brds. I typically outparsed him in Ein or anywhere by 10-14%. He used the same logic. I am not saying you don't know what you are doing but to reply that you have that many relic/emps is of very little rebuttal against what people do know or can do if geared correctly.
